About Service League of San Mateo County – Hope House
Hope House is a Department of Health Care Services-licensed residential substance use disorder treatment program operated by the Service League of San Mateo County in Redwood City, California.
This gender specific program serves adult women, including those who are pregnant, postpartum or caring for an infant while in treatment.
Since 1990, Hope House has delivered individualized, evidence based and culturally sensitive care in a structured but warm residential setting.
Women’s Residential Addiction Treatment with Family in Mind
Hope House provides both short-term and long-term residential treatment through a small-scale, 16-bed program housed in two side-by-side homes.
Up to four beds are reserved for pregnant clients or parents with infants, allowing mothers to care for their own child while in detox or recovery.
The program pairs addiction and detox treatment with parenting education, child reunification support and coordination with Children and Family Services, courts and probation.
Care includes individualized treatment and discharge plans, individual and group counseling, addiction education, relapse prevention and case management.
Clients also engage in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, alongside WRAP programs, trauma related counseling and daily fitness classes at the Karen M. Francone Wellness Center.
A Continuum of Recovery Support
Recovery at Hope House extends well beyond residential care.
Eligible graduates can access substance-free transitional housing, ongoing case management, peer support and weekly alumni meetings.
This continuum helps women build stability, parenting skills and lasting connection in early recovery.
Access and Next Steps
Hope House serves San Mateo County residents from its Redwood City location, with entry requiring county residency, San Mateo County Medi-Cal and approval from Behavioral Health and Recovery Services.
As a certified Drug Medi-Cal program, Hope House accepts Medi-Cal, Medicare and other state-financed health insurance.
